Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, colleagues for being here today. I wish you didn't have to be here.
First of all, on behalf of my party, I want to compliment you on the work you've done to enhance competition in wireless, the Internet, and long distance.
Of course, our view is that the order was done prematurely, so I have a very specific question for you, Mr. French, or your colleagues.
Given that section 34 of the Telecommunications Act calls for a factual determination of the level of competition, in that we all know market power is crucial in terms of determining how the CRTC can make a determination by counting the numbers of companies supposedly offering services, what if there are three companies, but one has a 90% market share and the others each have 5%? Are you certain the interests of consumers will be protected by deregulating the pricing of the company with 90%, without knowing more under the circumstances?
